HTTP3 (and QUIC)

HTTP/3 Explained - the online free book describing the protocols involved.
QUIC implementation - the wiki page describing the plan for how to support QUIC and HTTP/3 in curl and libcurl.

QUIC libraries
QUIC libraries we're experimenting with:
Experimental!
HTTP/3 and QUIC support in curl is considered EXPERIMENTAL until further notice. It needs to be enabled at build-time.
Further development and tweaking of the HTTP/3 support in curl will happen in in the master branch using pull-requests, just like ordinary changes.

quiche version
build
Clone quiche and BoringSSL:
% git clone --recursive https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche
Build BoringSSL (it needs to be built manually so it can be reused with curl):
% cd quiche/deps/boringssl
% mkdir build
% cd build
% cmake -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=on ..
% make
% cd ..
% mkdir -p .openssl/lib
% cp build/crypto/libcrypto.a build/ssl/libssl.a .openssl/lib
% ln -s $PWD/include .openssl
Build quiche:
% cd ../..
% QUICHE_BSSL_PATH=$PWD/deps/boringssl cargo build --release --features pkg-config-meta,qlog
Build curl:
% cd ..
% git clone https://github.com/curl/curl
% cd curl
% ./buildconf
% ./configure LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,$PWD/../quiche/target/release" --with-ssl=$PWD/../quiche/deps/boringssl/.openssl --with-quiche=$PWD/../quiche/target/release --enable-alt-svc
% make
Run
Use HTTP/3 directly:
curl --http3 https://nghttp2.org:8443/
Upgrade via Alt-Svc:
curl --alt-svc altsvc.cache https://quic.aiortc.org/
